An experience that allows you to face yourself, failure.

 An experience that allows you to face yourself, failure.


"It is lost in the east, and it is gathered in the west."


- 《The Book of Hans》


During the Gwangmuje era, general Pungi goes out on a mission to subdue the peasant rebels called the Red American Army. At first, he fell into the schemes of the Red American Army and suffered a major defeat, but he did not get frustrated and reorganized his alignment and helped to win a grand victory.


At this time, King Gwangmu gave this word as a reward for victory.


Although they lost the first battle, they praised the fact that they prepared well for the next battle and achieved victory.


Although Pungyi suffered a major defeat, she was not discouraged and was able to prepare well for the next event and achieve the final victory. Likewise, even if you fail in one field, you can succeed in another field where you can do better, and if you have failed before but wait for a better time, you can win.


Human beings are a mixture of strengths and weaknesses. No matter how good a person is, he cannot excel in every field. No matter how bad a person is, he always has one great talent.


 As Zhuangzi said, "A good horse runs a thousand miles a day, but catching a mouse is not as good as a wildcat or a raccoon."


But people often don't know what they're really good at. What you need is the experience of failure. Failure is an opportunity, to be honest with yourself.


Through failure, human beings can face their own abilities and strengths and find the areas in which they are best.


When he fails at something, he gets frustrated easily with anyone. The climate of a world that does not tolerate failure is also a problem, but the fundamental problem is a weak will that breaks by itself.


When faced with despair, the mind that can calmly wait for opportunities with a relaxed and positive attitude can be another opportunity that you can give yourself.


Rather than be discouraged by a momentary failure, face your own abilities and strengths through failure with encouraging words of motivation.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
